Wanted to mention that 16 year olds could buy cigarettes until 2007, went to check the year, found that more interestingly: You can smoke cigarettes at any age, but you are not allowed to buy them until you are 18. If you are caught smoking by a uniformed police officer or park keeper in a public place when under 16, he or she can take away your tobacco and cigarette papers. s.7 Children and Young Persons Act 1933 https://lawstuff.org.uk/at-what-age-can-i/buy-and-consume/ https://lawstuff.org.uk/at-what-age-can-i/buy-and-consume/
